Here she is. Tim's Custom Lyskey GR250 locked and loaded and ready for the worst (Best) that the black hills have to offer. If you're trying to take the harsh out of the road then Tim recommends the new Brooks Cambium Rubber bar tape, sticky and soft, the Cambium is the perfect solution for those arm pumping gravel downs. There is really only one color allowed. Oh wait, two colors. Pink and Tan. This bike is matched to the T. Fenders? What Fenders! Just kidding, we took these pictures in the heat of the summer, but dayyyyyum gurl check out those clearances! Fenders are no problem with this beauty. Carbon wheels, WTB Byway 650b x 47c Tires. High volume, high traction, light weight. Win. Win. Win.

The proper set of gears in our bicycle is what makes mountain rides enjoyable. We should always make sure that the parts are capable of going through a ride up. It is incredible that these simple instruments could give as an experience that would make us witness the beauty of nature and enjoy life. We use biking as a hobby and a sport, through this we could have a healthy lifestyle and at the same time do what we love. With the benefits of biking, surely more people would love to try it.

This bike is a one off custom built by Tim Smith of Mad Dog Bikes in Adelaide, South Australia. The frame was built from a steel Lynskey GR250, with a custom chromoly seat stay bridge and fork crown to allow the use of disc brakes.The Lynskey is an incredibly underrated frame and it's nice to see someone doing something different with it. I've had no problems with my Lynskey frames over the years - they're great value for money and really easy to work on.

Wow, Tim's Custom Lyskey GR250 is an absolute beast! I can tell he's prepared for the best and the worst that the Black Hills have to offer. Those wide bars for maximum control are a great choice for tackling all kinds of terrains. And I have to say, the Brooks Cambium Rubber bar tape in Pink and Tan not only looks fantastic but seems like a smart choice for comfort and grip during those intense gravel downs.
